Niece-102

8.29.2006

Beatrice Caroline was born this morning at 10:11 to my brother and his wife.

Ten fingers, ten toes, and (so I’ve been told) adorable.

A 19-inch, 7 lb 5 oz reason to keep doing everything we can to make this world better.

Neato. Aunties are the best. I love mine and can’t wait to be one. It seems way easier than this whole mom-gig.

Has your nephew Brodie informed her yet that she has the world’s bestest aunt?

Big fat congrats to the family of Brother-101!

MrsFortune August 30, 2006 at 3:12 pm

Will they have another one and call her Ramona, and then Ramona won’t be able to say “Beatrice” so she’ll end up calling her sister “Beezus”? Please can you ask them to do that? Seriously, congrats. I thik being an aunt is a lot easier than being a mom. Though I have no nieces or nephews to prove this, I still think the theory holds water.
